This Weekend at The Buttonwood Tree
The Matt Flinner Trio
Friday, August 21
8-10pm $15 (cash or check at the door)
In 2006, three musical pals decided to get together to play a few
gigs; since then, the Matt Flinner Trio has been exploring new pathways
and setting new standards for the bluegrass trio sound all around the
U.S. and Europe. This trio specializes in “Music du Jour”. On the day of
the show, each member of the group composes a new piece on and performs
it that night. This guarantees that each show will be different from
anything you’ve seen before or will see in the future!
“Flinner continues his reign as perhaps the most exciting and creative mandolin player on the scene today.”—Jazz Times
“(Flinner) blurs the lines between jazz and bluegrass, traditional and avant-garde.”—Associated Press
“Flinner provides the next logical evolutionary step to David Grisman’s unique ‘Dawg’ style, and does it with a nod to the past and a vision of the future.”—Bluegrass Now

Photo Exhibit Seen Through a Jazz Lens
As
part of the Saratoga Springs, New York, Centennial Celebration, The
Buttonwood Tree is exhibiting selections from an historical photographic
collection that documents the Daggs family, a tight-knit group of
African-American, Native American, and Dutch ancestry that has resided
in one of the city’s historic neighborhoods since the 19th century.
A special exhibit at
the Buttonwood presents about 25 of the complete collection’s 100
photographs of mostly black-and-white images, which chronicle 100 years
of the Daggs’ family history. More than just an individual family
portrait, the exhibition celebrates a universal sense of place, kinship,
community, and continuity, linking present with past generations.
With
their evocative sense of time and place, the images will serve as a
kind of visual accompaniment for a performance on Saturday, August 22,
at 8:00 pm by Jazzage, a trio featuring two musical members of the Daggs
family, Carol Daggs on piano and voice and James Daggs on double bass.
The
trio is rounded out by the highly skilled drummer Billy Arnold, a
longtime favorite in the Hartford and Springfield region. Along with
jazz pieces and, perhaps, slices of soul and R&B, Jazzage will also
serve original compositions by Carol Daggs. Tickets: $10.00.
